The emission inspector training seminar has two parts
The P 1 (Petrol Emission Inspector P 1) training seminar
4 hours seminar.
The D 1 (Diesel Emission Inspector D 1) training seminar
4 hours seminar.
Detailed descriptor of the P 1 (Petrol Emission Inspector P 1) training seminar
This seminar is constructed to teach the technician how to perform emission inspections on Petrol vehicles to a consistent level as set out in the YES Emission Screening Programme.
The YES Association has in conjunction with various large automotive industry expert groups developed an objective automotive emissions screening programme, which at first will run parallel to the subjective visual emission inspection, but eventually replaces it.
The Petrol Emission Inspector P 1 seminar covers the following topics:
Vehicle preparations.
Any vehicle which is not prepared properly will fail the emission test. For example the engine needs to be up to operating temperature, how best to implement the testing regime so you don't have to take every vehicle for a time consuming run before the check.
Which probes and which sensors to connect to the vehicle and what to watch out for.
How to stay safe in the workshop in regards to emissions, and the effect of emissions on inspector's health.
Screening standards.
During the first implementation stage the emission screening will be compared to three different emission level standards (Californian, European, and proposed NZ).
Short background overview will be given of each standard's pass or fail limits.
The actual testing procedure.
Theoretical and practical testing procedure on Petrol vehicle(s) will be performed.
Recording of results.
How to enter the emission screening results in a data base for statistical information.
What information to print on the vehicle's windscreen sticker.
Upon passing an annual exam your details will be published on the AECS and YES! web sites as part of the certification.
Please note: the seminar is to enable vehicle inspectors to screen vehicle emissions to a consistent and objective level throughout the country.
The petrol inspector training seminar together with the D 1 'Diesel inspector training seminar' (4 hrs training seminar) make up the Emission inspector training seminar .
The inspector can bring his/her own emission tester (homologated and calibrated!), or our (AVL & Brainbee) emission testers can be used.
Pre requisite: the inspector has completed the AED 'Automotive Electronic Diagnostic' 2 day training seminar, regardless of the achieved level through other training systems or experience!
